From MacGuffin to MacNuffin
So the other night I saw the movie Non-Stop, because who doesn't enjoy watching Liam Neeson kill large numbers of people for a couple of hours? Unfortunately, it was set on a transatlantic jet flying a mere couple of hundred passengers to London, and he doesn't even get to kill all of them. So it was a bit small potatoes after Taken, where he kills approximately 30 per cent of the population of Paris, and Taken 2, where he kills approximately 40 per cent of the population of Istanbul, and, ... |

Topical TakeThe Lois Lerner Defense
It's that time of the year when a young man's fancy turns to ...his tax return. "Tax season," as it is called. Baseball should have a season, mating should have a season, but, when tax has a season, something is seriously wrong. Guest-hosting for Rush on Monday, I took a call from Patricia in Indiana, who's just received notice from the IRS that she's going to be audited for her 2013 taxes. Which she hasn't filed yet. Because they're not due until April 15th. So she's being preemptively ... SteynPostsPotemkin Parliament Pajama Party
Good news for fake Nobel Laureate Michael E Mann. Iran is launching an Islamic Nobel Prize to be named after Mustafa (ie, Mohammed). Given that he wants it so badly, maybe we can nominate Dr Mann for a Mustafa Prize. ~Speaking of "climate change", did you stay up all night to watch the all-night Senate "debate"? Me neither. Sitting in for Rush yesterday, I breezily compared the Senate's so-called "talkathon" to Kim Jong-Un's impressive 100 per cent of the vote on a 100 per cent voter turnout in ... The Rush Limbaugh ShowThe Republic of Upskirting
I had a grand old time behind the Golden EIB Microphone today, guest-hosting for Rush, who was at a charity event. As I explained at the top of the show: So I was tootling down the interstate the other day, and I heard Rush talking about CNN cancelling this bloke called Piers Morgan, and Rush said that Americans don't want to listen to some foreigner with a snotty accent telling them everything that's wrong with their country. That's why here at the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, we have ... SteynPostsStick it to the Mann ...and Win One for Free Speech

Defend Free Speech!A Barristerial Self-Ambush
I was sorry not to be in Madam Justice Matheson's courtroom in Toronto today. A guest-hosting stint for Rush obliged me to stay south of the border and miss what proved to be a tense point-by-point slugfest between the plaintiff's lawyer and the defendant. In The National Post, Christie Blatchford describes it thus: TORONTO — At one point, the judge begged, "Please be quiet." At another, she said wearily, "Can I ask you both to stop?" Ontario Superior Court Judge Wendy Matheson was addressing ... Steyn's Song of the WeekBlue Moon

Defend Free Speech!An Inspiring Day
I watched Ezra Levant's defamation trial in Toronto with an eye to my own defamation trial in Washington. Khurrum Awan, the Sole Surviving Sock from the original five Canadian Islamic Congress Sock Puppets who attempted to get my writing banned for life in Canada, is now suing Ezra for calling him a liar and an anti-Semite. Michael E Mann, the fake Nobel Laureate, is suing me, Rand Simberg and our respective publishers for calling his hockey stick "fraudulent" (that was me) and its creator a ...
